Style-o-scopes: The sneakers that deserve your attention in 2019, according to your sun sign

It's 2019, folks! Mercury may or may not be in retrograde and who knows what your 2019 horoscope has in store for you. But what's bound to be a sure-fire hit are the season's hottest sneakers. Of course it's easier said than done keeping up with all the weekly drops, but that's why we're here, right? Unless like Ranbir Kapoor, you also happen to have a sneaker guy. If not, might we suggest you choose your next kicks based on your style horoscope? Conveniently, we've listed them out for you -- the 12 sun signs and the one sneaker meant for each:

Aries

Bold and ambitious, only the best of the best would do for Arians. So a sneaker that has pretty much ruled the charts for more than a year now makes for a sound investment. Slip into Balenciaga's Triple S sneakers - these babies set the motion for the ugly trend and is on every sneakerhead's wish list. Needless to say, he'll be the centre of attention - exactly how he likes it.

Taurus

There are those that prefer their box-fresh kicks to look squeaky clean throughout their shelf life. And then there are those that like theirs to have that worn-in quality right from the get-go. A Taurian firmly falls in the latter category. The pre-distressed kicks from Golden Goose Deluxe Brand Superstar will ensure that he is not detracted from what he really loves doing the most - enjoying nature.

Gemini

A Gemini will try anything at least once. That is why he should give the Reebok InstaPump Fury a try. Because while the others might say that they love a good ugly sneaker, it is not really ugly till you have rocked this cult hit from the late '80s.

Cancer

The Cancerian tends to appreciate the understated and the classic. Even during this current menswear climate, when every other dude is sporting outrageous, a Cancerian would quietly stay with what he believes in. Like the Reebok Club C that is still holding a torch for the pre-chunky sneaker days. And thanks to guys like him, they are just as buzzy.

Leo

Getting raffle tickets, standing in queues all night and even going to the extent of calling a sneaker guy - a Leo will do it all to score the hottest, most hyped-up pair out there. Word to the wise: He should save all his energy to get his hands on the Nike Air Jordan 1 "Black Toe" that does not even have a release date yet.

Virgo

A Virgo appreciates nothing more than an item that marries form and function. So stepping into 2019 with what he knows best is a great way forward. Case in point: The Puma Thunder Spectra that have been around since the '90s, and now come in an updated version. A modern version of an oldie that's now a goodie - even a Virgo can deal with the slight addition of bells and whistles.

Libra

To appreciate the finer things in life is one of his innate qualities. And realising that the Versace 2Chainz sneakers - with its flashy fabric layers and complex pattern - reminds him of his favourite work of art, will only make him want it more.

Scorpio

A Scorpio loves a good flex - something that says a little sexy and a lot badass. Enter the Giuseppe Zanotti Kriss, a 2018 favourite that Mr Scorpio won't have trouble rocking in 2019 as well.

Sagittarius

Fear of God, Leather Crown, Ylati... all brands the average dude hasn't heard of yet are part of the Sagittarius man's style arsenal. It's his thirst for knowledge that has him familiar with the coolest under-the-radar labels. And a good addition in 2019 will be Nike's new collaboration with Fear of God that helps bring the unknown and the known together. Just try not to come across as pretentious.

Capricorn

For the practical Capricorn, a pair of kicks that does the job would be the shoe of choice. The adidas BYW (Boost You Wear) - with its Boost technology - which is an elevated version of their '90s hit FYW (Feet You Wear) should do the trick.

Aquarius

The creative and the imaginative Aquarius mind will take a liking to the Reebok x Pyer Moss DMX Fusion 1. The silhouette takes inspiration from airdrop containers and the multiple straps that are used to tie it down. Translation: A complex sneaker that allows the wearer to use the laces in a style unique to his taste.

Pisces

That sweet spot between fantasy and reality will always have the Pisces man's attention. Following similar ethos is Yohji Yamamoto's hot collab with Adidas that seamlessly blends the futuristic with the sophisticated. It's a win-win.
